Ginza (2021)

Shiseido · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Shiseido Ginza is a fresh, sweet women's fragrance that sets a floral heart of jasmine, magnolia and orchid on sandalwood, hinoki cypress and patchouli. Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays close without disappearing. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter is the least chosen season. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and more than half of voters read it as feminine. Rochas Girl and Shiseido Ginza (Eau de Parfum Murasaki) share a close profile. The scent reads as one fresh, floral whole: jasmine, magnolia and orchid come first, while pink pepper and pomegranate add a light fruity sweetness. Sandalwood, hinoki cypress and patchouli give the flowers a woody base.

Pour Elle

Annayake · 2000

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Annayake Pour Elle is a fresh, citrusy women's fragrance that suits warm seasons and daytime wear. Most voters pick spring and summer, and everyday wear, work and leisure lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most see it as feminine, though many also call it modern. Bergamot, fig and elemi resin open it bright and green. Blue lotus sits in the heart, and hinoki cypress, tea, musk, gaiac wood and sandalwood soften the base into an aquatic, woody finish. Its profile is close to Carolina Herrera 212 and Kenzo pour Homme.

Eau de Parfum

Shiseido Vocalise / ヴォカリーズ Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral women's scent that leans towards spring and summer days, at the office or in daily wear; it has been discontinued. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, while winter trails far behind. Daily wear, business and leisure come first, with evening and night out chosen less often. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, and most voters read it as feminine. The scent is fresh, floral and fruity, with a powdery, woody undertone. Neroli, yuzu and peach bring the brightness, while red rose and lily of the valley build the floral core. Hinoki cypress adds a woody line, and vanilla softens the whole.

Intra Venus

7.9

Chronotope

Fresh · Floral · Green

Chronotope Intra Venus is a fresh, green and floral perfume for women, set on a woody, resinous footing. The scent reads green and cool as a whole: hyacinth, cyclamen and amaryllis form the floral side, while hinoki cypress, cypress and tree moss add a damp, woody air. Mastic brings a resinous firmness, and wasabi and yarrow add a spicy, herbal edge. Sulfur and maté give it an unusual, synthetic touch, which the creamy accord softens a little. Its profile is close to Angela Ciampagna Nox and Parfums Quartana Hemlock.
